pro_vb thread: wondering if something is possible


Message #1 by darin@r... on Wed, 26 Dec 2001 17:14:26
You can write a simple IE Plugin, which can be shown as a Button on the IE
tool bar.  This button can be programmed to be activated when the particular
webpage is loaded on the browser.  Now when your sales Rep clicks this
button ( or say when he /she clicks the submit) , The data in the form can
be captured and directed to whichever application you desire using DDE.  Or
you can add one more API Fn to your own application to accept this data and
do the processing.

Simple stuff to do.  Best of luck.

thank you
